I was stood there, in the shadows
Of a place we used to go
Drinking cocktail after cocktail
Wondering if you'd show
My head started spinning
My mouth was feeling dry
Lost inside the music
I was trying not to cry
If they call it heartache
If they call it heartache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?
Please, Mr. DJ
Won't you turn the music down?
Why can't you understand?
I'm to hurt to dance tonight
I was sat there, looking silent
He said I stood out from the crowd
He offered me a friendly face
To wipe away my frown
But I won't talk to strangers
Their words are all the same
So I drown inside this drinking glass
To take away the pain
If they call it heartache
If they call it heartache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?
Please, Mr. DJ
Won't you turn the music down?
Why can't you understand?
I'm to hurt to dance tonight
Please, Mr. DJ
Won't you turn the music down?
Why can't you understand?
I'm to hurt to dance tonight
